Jenna Ortega Teases Season 2 of WEDNESDAY Is "Bigger, Bolder, Gorier" and "Sillier in the Best Way Possible" — GeekTyrant
Fans of the series Wednesday have been waiting nearly three years to see the return of the show that had a hugely successful first season. The show explores the high school life of Wednesday Addams at Nevermore Academy as she navigates friendships and relationships and unravels dark mysteries lurking within its walls.
The wait is not long now, with season 2 headed our way this August, and star Jenna Ortega is teasing the 'bigger, bolder' theme of the returning show.
In a recent interview with Harpers Bazaar, Ortega, who is now a producer on the series, said of joining the behind the scenes process, 'I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area.' She also tries to make sure other young cast members feel heard.
She teased, 'Season 2 is bigger, bolder, gorier, and a bit darker. It's sillier in the best way possible.' She also commented on the show's move from Bucharest to Dublin, stating, 'Dublin was incredible. I loved everything about that experience, the cast, the crew. It was so sweet and so awesome. That island is so beautiful.'
The official logline for Wednesday season 2 promises a "supernatural mystery" where "fresh foes and woes" await our titular hero in the halls of Nevermore Academy. "This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem," it continues.
Part 1 of Season 2 of Wednesday is debuting on Netflix on August 6th, followed by Part 2 on September 3rd.

Youthful Paris Saint-Germain flaunt maturity beyond their years to finally reach Champions League summit
Paris Saint-Germain matured, moved away from the superstars, and so the stars aligned for them. Producing the biggest margin of victory in the 70-year history of the European Cup final, Luis Enrique's sensational side obliterated Inter Milan 5-0 here in Munich's Allianz Arena. Advertisement The Champions League trophy is finally PSG's — seen as the pinnacle of their ambition when the club was purchased by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011. They have had to learn the hard way, realising that littering the team with the individual brilliance of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar was no guarantee of European success. PSG and their chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi did away with all that and now have their reward: a winning formula led from the front by youthful French attackers Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola and their unassuming poster boy Ousmane Dembele. Enrique told his players when Mbappe left for Real Madrid that, without him, they would score more. That's proven prophetic. After the semi-finals in 2021 and last year, and the final in 2020, at last the European crown is theirs. Doue scored two and assisted another to help PSG on their way (AP) Inter were deserving finalists, having knocked out Bayern Munich and stunned Barcelona in perhaps the greatest semi-final tie of all time, but were never remotely close to landing their fourth crown and, as in 2023, were beaten finalists. Advertisement The goals came from 19-year-old Doue, who scored twice, and from ex-Inter man Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu but could have come from anyone in that rampant front-line. It felt telling when, the night before the final, PSG's captain Marquinhos — who has lived through everything at the club, the highs and the lows, for 12 years — admitted this iteration of the team is the one he has had the most fun playing in. And so the fun began again. Barely a minute was needed for the match to take up its expected status quo, PSG passing and probing and searching for spaces Inter hadn't meant to leave unmanned. Patient though their possession was for the first 10 minutes, the arrival of a handful of red flares behind the PSG goal seemed to stoke the fire in them at the other end. The opening goal on 12 minutes was followed by a second just eight minutes later. Both showed PSG at their scintillating best. Advertisement Their midfield maestro Vitinha played the killer pass, bisecting Inter's defence and allowing Doue (energetic and front-footed throughout) to square for Hakimi. the 19-year-old mayulu epitomised PSG's new generation (AFP via Getty Images) Their second had everything: pace, panache, and dogged defending. What started at one end as Ecuadorian centre-back William Pacho clearing the ball off the line to prevent an Inter corner quickly became a breathtaking counter-attack, Kvaratskhelia setting Dembele free to run at Inter and then drift a cultured pass wide right for Doue to control and volley in via a deflection, PSG in total command. Now was the time to strike back for Inter, but both Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram headed wide from corners as PSG's confidence only grew. Inter misplaced passes and played without tempo or rhythm, hamstrung. Advertisement Misses by Kvaratskhelia were the final action of the first half and the first action of the second. There was to be no letting up. a cut above the rest: luis enrique (AP) And it only became more emphatic for PSG, more gruelling for the Nerazzurri, as Doue latched on to a through-ball from the outstanding Vitinha and coolly found the corner. Doue, a teenager, had two goals and an assist in the Champions League final. Not bad. Enrique and his coaching staff celebrated every goal the same, bouncing up and down in a huddle, but when Dembele fed Kvaratskhelia to slam home the fourth, the PSG bench stormed onto the pitch on a night that could not get any better. Advertisement Except it could. As the Munich heat held late into the night, substitute Mayulu — 19 years of age, born eight miles from the centre of Paris — added a fifth. PSG came 15th in the league phase and lost five games en route to this final. Inter, meanwhile, just one, breaking a record in that same league phase by keeping clean sheets in seven of their games. Inter were the oldest team in the knockout stages and manager Simone Inzaghi named a starting line-up with an average age five-and-a-half years younger than their opponents, but after a spirited run where he has squeezed the absolute most out of an ageing squad, their run was finally up. The vast experience in their ranks counted for nothing as PSG came of age and delivered the French capital European glory at long last.

Desire Doue: Paris Saint-Germain 'striving to get better' after record-breaking Champions League win
Desire Doue hailed Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League triumph and insisted their next step is to become even better. PSG won their maiden European crown on Saturday night as they thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich — the largest margin of victory in the final in the competition's 70-year history. Advertisement Doue, who does not turn 20 until next week, scored two goals and assisted a third on a memorable night. He joined the club last summer from Rennes for £42million. Victory for PSG sealed the treble after they enjoyed a similarly successful season domestically, winning both Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France. 'I'm on top of a cloud and maybe I need to pinch myself,' he said after the match, with the man-of-the-match award placed in front of him. 'This is my first season here at PSG and this was a dream of mine. It is just wonderful. 'I think we've shown we are a great team across the board. We've got lots of very versatile players that can move around in different positions. That is one of our strengths. Advertisement 'It was a great team effort this evening. We have a lot of young players, players who still need to develop — and I'm one of those players.' Looking to the future, and with the Club World Cup just a fortnight away, Doue added: 'We are always going to strive to get better. We'll continue to win the best trophies out there. 'Thank you to all of our fans who were here this evening. And thank you to all of the PSG supporters in Paris and around the world.'

'Serious setback' for democracy — EU condemns Russia-style foreign agents law in Georgia
The European Union has condemned Georgia's Foreign Agents Registration Act, characterizing it as a setback for the country's democratic development and calling on Georgian authorities to reverse democratic backsliding. In a joint statement published on May 31, top EU officials Kaja Kallas and Marta Kos criticized the Georgian foreign agents law, which requires civil society organizations that receive international funding to register as "foreign agents." The law officially came into effect on May 31. The EU called the law a "serious setback for the country's democracy" that "represents another aggressive action by the Georgian authorities to suppress dissent, restrict freedoms, and further shrink the space for activists, civil society, and independent media." The ruling Georgian Dream party, which currently holds a parliamentary majority, passed the contentious law earlier in April 2025, alongside other "repressive measures [that] threaten the very survival of Georgia's democratic foundations and the future of its citizens in a free and open society." The statement also noted that Georgia's "accession process has been de facto halted." Georgia first received EU candidate status in December 2023, but its accession process has been hampered by growing authoritarianism in the country. The EU reiterated its call for Georgian authorities to heeds their citizens' demands for democracy and a European future and urged the "release all unjustly detained journalists, activists, protesters, and political leaders." "The EU is ready to consider the return of Georgia to the EU accession path if the authorities take credible steps to reverse democratic backsliding," the statement emphasized. "The responsibility lies solely with the Georgian authorities."Mass protests erupted in Georgia following the contentious parliamentary elections in October 2024, in which Georgian Dream maintained its majority amidst reports of ballot stuffing, intimidation, and other electoral irregularities. Protestors have also cited the foreign agents law as a source of discontent. Georgia's foreign agents law closely mirrors a similar law that was passed in Russia and weaponized by the Kremlin to clamp down on civil society. First introduced in 2012 and significantly expanded in 2022, Russia's foreign agents law is yet another one of Moscow's primary tools for suppressing criticism.
